Check with phone and email reservations to assure that all reservations are noted.

Plan out the seating chart and organize the reservations (planning is everything when running an effective host stand).

Make sure the server is aware they have been sat.

Greet guests and escort them to their table.

Make sure all menus are clean, free of spots or stains, complete and enough for the entire shift
